If you love sea creatures, then you probably love seahorses. Who doesn’t? These little creatures look like cute little horses that live under water. Today, I will be teaching you how to draw cartoon style seahorses with easy step by step drawing lessons. I will help you build up the character’s form with easy shapes, numbers, and letters to help you through the hard lines and curves. Children, teens, and adults will all be able to complete this cartooning tutorial. Good luck.
Draw a curvy ‘J’ like shape to start out the body of the seahorse.
Now break down the shape of the seahorse’s head to make it easier for you to draw it. In blue, see the shapes that look like sideways capital letter ‘L’s. In yellow, see the shape that looks like a letter ‘m’ or a sideways number ‘3’.
Now draw the front and back of the seahorse. In the front, see the blue shape that looks like a backwards letter ‘s’. Under that, in yellow, see the shape that looks like a letter ‘J’. For the back, just follow the shape of the curved line in front of it.
Now, draw a circle for the seahorse’s eye (in pink). In red, draw the fin that looks like a triangle that isn’t quite connected. Below that, draw a backwards number ‘7’ (in yellow). For the fin that is on the back, draw a backwards ‘J’ (blue), a backwards number ‘3’ like shape (orange), and a capital letter ‘L’ like shape (green).
Now, to finish off the drawing of a cartoon-style sea horse…draw a circle within the eye. Fill in that circle except for a small circle space (the highlight). Draw an upward curved capital letter ‘T’ for the seahorse’s smile. Also draw lines within the fins…. and draw curved capital letter ‘E’s all over the seahorse’s body for scales.
Now just erase lines that you don’t need and outline the ‘correct’ lines with a black pen or marker. Making thick, interesting lines instead of the thin pencil lines makes quite a difference in the end result, doesn’t it? If you are having problems figuring out which lines to erase, then reference my drawing (above) for help. Now you will have an amazing cartoon drawing of a cartoon whimsical seahorse to show off to your friends.
